US Open 2021 Odds, Tips & Predictions
The 2021 US Open golf tournament is set to take place from the 14th to the 20th June at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California.
We will add the dates, odds, tips and predictions closer to the start date of the event.
Popular US Open Betting Markets
Golf is one of the most popular sports to bet on at any online bookmaker. There are many reasons for this, but we think the main one is the sheer variety and wealth of bets available, which far outweighs other games.
Outright Winner
This is a simple wager, perhaps the most straightforward in the whole of betting, and all that needs to be decided and backed with a stake is a selection, from you the punter, on who will win the US Open.
Each-Way
If, for absolutely any reason whatsoever, you are harbouring doubts about your selection’s potential performance, then you can always reassure your bet by making it each-way. This way, your pick for outright winner can come within the designated places for the tournament. What’s more, many golf betting sites offer promotions on the amount of places they will pay out on in golf majors such as the US Open.
Three Ball
This bet works by selecting a player out of a twosome to post the best score in that day’s round. It does not matter how well the players perform in the wider tournament, so long as, out of the three in their grouping, your pick fares better.
Winning Nationality
With a bet like this, what is required from the bettor is to predict the nationality of the eventual tournament winner. It is worth taking into consideration the overwhelming amount of times this event has been won by US nationals, but that’s not to say that others cannot.
Tournament Structure for the US Open
The US Open golf tournament is a stroke play event, played over 72 holes and has been since 1898. That is four days play, shooting 18 holes per round. Along with the US Masters, The Open Championship and the PGA Championship, it is one of golf’s majors. Play begins on Thursday and ends on the third Sunday in June each year. The event is staged by the United States Golf Association (USGA) and carries a prize pool of £12.5 million, the highest of all the majors.
History of the US Open
The first ever US Open was played in one day on October 4, 1895 over 36 holes at the Newport Country Club in Newport, Rhode Island. There were 11 entrants, 10 of which were professional as well as one amateur. The winner was a 21-year-old Englishman Horace Rawlins. In fact, in the early years, the British did exceptionally well at the tournament, enjoying years of dominance that lasted until 1911, when John J. McDermott became the first American winner. Since then, on many occasions the title has been won by players from the United States.

ThePuntersPage Final Say
With 156 players and the joint biggest prize pool in golf, the US Open is one of the biggest and best events in golf. The tournament’s open structure might well make for a large field and amateur involvement but, more often than not, winners have been drawn from the elite pool. However, this is a tourney known for shock results – such as when amateur qualifier Lucas Glover won in 2009 – which makes it great for golf betting.
